Prayut tells NRC to heed Defence Ministry reform proposals

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha Friday told the National Reform Council (NRC) to use the proposals of the Defence Ministry as guidelines for national reforms.

The premier said during his weekly television programme Friday night that the Office of the Permanent Secretary for Defence had already gathered information and public opinions on 11 issues for reforms and sent them to the NRC.

The NRC members should consider the guidelines and decide which points they want to add or change, he said.

Responding to criticism that the NRC members were not competent for the task, he said the National Council for Peace and Order had provided all information.

"We have prepared and arranged the information with no instructions. We give them only the questions with no answers. They should come up with the answers themselves," he said.
